As an engineering director, you’re responsible for communicating your teams’ performance to senior leaders and other important stakeholders.
A great report delivers a clear and concise picture of the state of your engineering org, including relevant information on your teams’ progress and any potential risks. Reporting sessions are just as valuable to you as they are to leaders, providing you with an opportunity to advocate for your teams and ask for resources and funding.
But building and delivering a great report can be tricky. How do you know which metrics and information to include? How can you create a clear narrative? And how can you use these sessions to build and maintain trust between you and your seniors?
As part of our series, ‘Engineering reporting at different levels’, we brought together a small group of engineering directors for a roundtable discussion hosted by Pat Kua.
